Naval Air Station Lemoore (NAS Lemoore)
Naval Air Station Lemoore (NAS Lemoore) is the US Navy's newest, largest, and only West Coast master jet base, located in Northern California. NAS Lemoore is homeport for every Navy strike fighter squadron on the West Coast, equipped with F/A-18 Hornet and Super Hornet aircraft. The station hosts several carrier air wings and the entire Strike Fighter Wing Pacific.

R2508 Complex Access
NAS Lemoore is one of few facilities with Poncho-3 clearance for the R2508 Complex, a section of restricted airspace and associated land in the upper Mojave Desert region managed by Edwards Air Force Base (412th Test Wing), Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake, and National Training Center Fort Irwin. Poncho-3 clearance allows only locally based aircraft access to specific restricted sections of R2508. This places NAS Lemoore alongside Edwards, China Lake, and Palmdale Plant 42 — all facilities UAP Gerb has connected to UFO legacy program operations.
UAP Connections
During the 1997 Hunter Warrior Advanced Warfighting Experiment, NAS Lemoore assembled air crews alongside NAWDC in Fallon, Nevada, as a naval adjunct to the primarily Marine Corps exercise. UAP Gerb theorizes this involvement facilitated clandestine ARV operations alongside blue (friendly) assets.
NAS Lemoore has produced its own triangle sightings. Navy Aviation Maintenance Administrator Angelo Acetta testified that in 2001 he observed a triangular glowing object with white glowing points above FRC West at NAS Lemoore. After observing the craft travel slowly for three minutes, the vehicle departed at seemingly instantaneous speed. Acetta claimed to observe the same vehicle four times between February and October 2012, with no response from the Naval Air Station.
